If sitting up makes the coughing stop AND if it is a wet cough, especially with her apparent BP problems you mentioned in the first post she'd best be having a chest xray and some more cardiac testing done. Those can be signs of a heart problem (i.e. heart not pumping well enough and fluid is backing up into the lungs). That's not something to be messing around with. If this Doc knows all that and hasn't/isn't doing anything to check her heart especially after conventional cough stuff isn't working, I seriously recommend you find another Dr ASAP.
